Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
-
Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.
-
People demand freedom only when they have no power.
-
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
-
Heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight but, while their companions slept, they were toiling upward in the night.
-
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
